One time I took a pot roast out of the oven and set it on the stove. I turned around to grab something and looked back and thought, no, that needs to be scooted up a bit, and proceeded to grab the handle of the pan that had been out of the oven for all of 4 seconds with my bare hand.

That hurt.

    I've done that with a cast iron. I had to go to the hospital. Same exact thing.

    Use mitt. Put on stove. Take off mitt.

    3 seconds later,Need to adjust, forget mitt.

    Grab handle fully. Palm, thumb, fingers. Aghhhhhh

    Cry a little bit. Soak in water pitcher.

    Drive to hospital with hand in pitcher.

    So I just always turn the oven mitt around after I set it on the stove and put it over the handle as a reminder that it's hot

    I have burned myself in so many random ways around the kitchen, but this is a nice visual reminder to everyone who might not know that this pan is probably pretty hot still
